Celebrate Independence Day with classic American recipes from chef Suvir Saran. His deviled eggs incorporate cumin, curry leaves, and cilantro, and his other appetizer—chickpea-and-potato phyllo cups—offers a twist on chaat papri, a popular snack sold by Indian street vendors. Saran's coleslaw comes alive courtesy of mint, ginger, lime, and roasted peanuts. And, heavens, his fried chicken! It's marinated overnight in a buttermilk brine aromatic with garam masala, coriander, ginger, and cayenne.
